Oscar Bernhardt
presents his new band: The Charleston Charlies! Playing popular hits
from the roaring 1920s. Enjoy this visit to an era of wonderful nonsense,
quirky original music and cheerful entertainment. Let's misbehave!
Kidnapped by aliens from the
Savoy ballroom in 1929, the Charleston Charlies reappeared on the
streets of Manchester in 2007 having aged not one jot, still playing
their infectious and quirky 1920's hits. The Charleston Charlies are:
- Oscar Bernhardt (singer and trumpet)
- Chester Walmsley ( drums)
- The Magnificant Eddie Barnstormer
(piano)
- Burley Martell (double bass)
- Milton Colehill (sax and
clarinet)
Love us or laugh at us,
you'll have to dance to us! Our affectionate 1920's pastiche delights
and delects its way through an era of prohibition , speakeasies and mob
violence, when the jitterbug was scandalous, flappers bobbed their
hair and raised their skirts and a damn good time was to be had by the
reckless and young at heart.
Strike up the band!
Everything is hotsy totsy now!
(The writer takes no
responsability for the truth of historical facts, nor do names bear
resemblence to other than fictitious characters but the music is damn
good!)
